  • It Takes Two

    “Look, I don’t care what you believe, but you seem to be incapable of expressing a consistent view. Take that T-shirt you are wearing. A picture of a large, what appears to be one of those foam fingers, pointing in whichever direction you turn, like a gun barrel. And that message? You Voted for an Idiot! Now how are people supposed to take that? Everyone thinks the other guy is the idiot. If that is your point have the courage to say so. What you are doing is like leaving a tenuous note about what you want from Santa, telling him why you should get the best presents because you’ve been better...hUyone door

    We have all heard the phrase, “to be or not to be, that is the question." What does that mean? We don’t really have a choice of being or not being. We didn't ask to be born. Is the implication we can be what we choose to be? If so, when did that line begin, and where is it.
